SECOND ANNUAL WORKSHOP ON CONCEPTUAL GRAPHS
IBM Paris Scientific Center
2, 3, 4 September 1987
The first workshop on conceptual graphs was held at the IBM Systems
Research Institute in Thornwood, New York, in August 1986. As a result
of that workshop, a number of the participants have been writing
chapters for a forthcoming book, Conceptual Graphs for Knowledge
Systems, edited by John Sowa, Norman Foo, and Anand Rao. It should
appear in print in early 1988. This year, another workshop will be held
at the IBM Paris Scientific Center from September 2 to 4, 1987. The
conference chairman is Dr. Jean Fargues. Following is a preliminary

In the letter to Ms. Torres, please note the answers to the following
questions:
1. Would you like to give a talk? On what topic?
2. Do you need a hotel reservation? Very comfortable at 700 F per
night or good average at 500 F per night?
3. What are your arrival and departure dates?
For 1988, there are tentative plans for two workshops -- one in
Australia, probably in July, and another in Minneapolis either during
or after the AAAI conference in August.
